RedLotus Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 From my experience the most sturdy laptops are the business line of laptops from HP / Dell / Lenovo. That said, my recommendation is that you are better off waiting for a month because both Intel and AMD have released their next gen chips and they will soon start showing up (infact many laptops with the new intel ivy bridge chips have been announced). If you want to have decent gaming and decent cpu performance AMD Trinity chips seem most promising. Intel has better cpu performance and battery life. Just wait for a couple of weeks and then you will have a lot of choices. thats the things i have to buy the laptop in the next week as i would be leaving delhi then, by the way http://www.flipkart.com/hp-pavilion-dv6-7010tx-laptop-3rd-gen-i7-6gb-640gb-2gb-graphics-win-7-beats-audio-sennheiser-headphone/p/itmd8cejzmc4gzrh?pid=COMD8CEGZYQHSVHX&_l=eph9XOVkNE+UbP2kwKaKeA--&_r=Irs_b7zfXWnuuEOD_PbUOw--&ref=18ba536c-a6fe-43be-b4bb-95f4adc5f30d i think has 3 rg ivy bridge, correct me if i am wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Boss Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Yeah, nice find pushy. You made some mistake while applying the thermal paste. But the stock cooler even on load should be enough to keep temperature below 72 for 2400. How is your case irock? Install some fans and ensure proper ventillation. Also do proper cable management.

i_rock098 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) Thanks a lot pushy bro, now here is a new twist in the story, today i decided to use a different software, HWMonitor Here are the readings it cave me, CPU At Idle- 40C Max-45C At Full Load- 51C Max-56C GPU At Idle- 41C Max-43 At Full Load- 58C Max-62C Motherboard Min-31C Max-39C HDD Min-30C Max-34C Now these readings are quite different from Real Temp, are these temps normal??

Also do proper cable management. i have tried to keep my case good ventilated, i have 3 82mm fans on the side pushing air out and 1 82mm at the rear pushing out also one more thing, dose sharing of 1 4-pin peripheral by 2 fans make them slower?? i have 2 of the fans connected to their individual peripheral from the psu and the other 2 form a series and share 1 peripheral from the psu, i feel that those 2 fans which are sharing power are running slower then they should, is there any logic in that?

Sackboy Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 4 fans pushing out Make it two in and two out ..... Yeah and the new temps are fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
